    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The ACP-EU Joint Parliamentary Assembly (JPA) is a very important organ for the purpose of communication internationally. We have heard what hon. Syongo has just talked about. It is the opening window for trade, diplomatic relationships and educational systems for our people. We talked about the diaspora. What is this diaspora? Why is there human resources export from Kenya to other countries? What are these greener pastures that we keep on talking about? Kenya is a big country. If well managed, it can provide all the good things our engineers, doctors and teachers crave to get. However, because of disparities in salary structures in this country, our professionals go out to look for greener pastures. Why are we exporting human resources to other countries? We, as Members of Parliament, when we go out there, we meet parliamentarians from other countries in various forums. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is imperative that Kenyans are well educated. Kenya is well respected worldwide because it has invested heavily on human resources. Even if political parties clash over issues, they cannot cause anarchy in the country because we have a well educated population. We respect human values. However, there are glaring imbalances between the rich and the poor. Why do we have such a gap between the haves and have-nots? I think it is because of the poor distribution of wealth in this country.The greatest natural resource in Kenya is agriculture. If we had proper land distribution we would not be having land clashes."
